Resplendent

If only she would
Move inside me, like I know she could
Touch my soul with such compassion
And fill me with a goodness that everlasting

Her hair is like black velvet
So soft, so dark...like the night sky
With stars in her eyes, she
Creates nebulas in my mind

If only she would
Look at me, like i know she could
Speak the words she wants to say
Without her insecurities making her afraid

Her smile is like a row of diamonds
So bright, so beautiful...so blue
With the kindness in her soul, I know
She'll put you under her lovespell too

An amazing girl she is inside
My eyes. I might have won her over
But I frightened her away because I'm
Enthralled by her beauty  that's so
Resplendent.

If you look down the lines
And not a cross
You will see who this sleeping beauty
Truly is
An amazing girl
A child of zen
That I just wish
Would be my friend

Oh, If only she would
Open her eyes and throw away insecurities, Like I know she could.
